This study aims to develop and to validate a French version of the Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS; Tangney et al., 2004). This instrument is usually applied as a unidimensional self-report measure for assessing trait self-control, which captures one's dispositional ability to resist short-term temptation in order to reach more valuable long-term goals. Data were collected from two independent samples of French-speaking individuals ( = 287; = 160). Results indicated that the French version of the BSCS can be treated as unidimensional, like the original questionnaire. Data also showed consistent acceptable reliability and reasonable test-retest stability. Acceptable external validity of constructs was supported by relationships with self-reported measures of impulsivity (UPPS), including urgency, lack of premeditation, and lack of perseverance. Overall, the findings suggest that the average score of the French version of the BSCS is a viable option for assessing trait self-control in French speaking populations.
本研究旨在开发并验证《简短自我控制量表》(BSCS;唐尼等人,2004年)的法语版本。该工具通常作为一种单维度的自我报告测量工具,用于评估特质自我控制,它反映了一个人为实现更有价值的长期目标而抵制短期诱惑的倾向性能力。数据来自两个独立的法语使用者样本( = 287; = 160)。结果表明,与原始问卷一样,BSCS的法语版本可被视为单维度的。数据还显示出一致的可接受信度和合理的重测稳定性。与冲动性自我报告测量(UPPS)的关系,包括冲动性、缺乏预谋和缺乏毅力,支持了该量表结构的可接受外部效度。总体而言,研究结果表明,BSCS法语版本的平均得分是评估法语人群特质自我控制的一个可行选项。
